Johannes Brecht - What's About [Poker Flat Recordings 143]

Johannes Brecht is the next fresh face to join the Poker Flat-stable with his double A-sided 12" "What's About", rolling out and adding up a new and yet unheard, nearly summer'ish vibe to the labels roster with the title track that starts with a kind of DeepHouse-related feel including strangely modulated, organic sounds and progressing into slightly trancey realms after an epic breakdown that hasn't been heard on Steve Bug's label before. "You" on the flip starts out on a similar tip but is less epic and seems to take things down the melancholia driven alley a bit so it turns out to be the fall'ish equivalent to the A-sides euphoria. Not the one you'd necessarily expect on Poker Flat Recordings for a reason but as the label introduced quite a bunch of new names within the last months this branch out into unusual soundscapes might fit well when you look back at it in like a years time.
